I feel very fortunate to have crossed paths with Roger. I had the pleasure of working with him for about 30 years. Although it was business I thought of him as a friend more than a customer. Whether it was talking about VT sports, sharing stories about the “good ol’ days, telling jokes or sneaking off to the golf course. I always looked forward to seeing him.

You will be greatly missed. I worked for you for 6 years, we had ups and downs but you were always good to me and my family. I am grateful we got the opportunity to be a part of the Floyd community, and a part of your life. Thank you for all the wonderful memories ❤
